I know you're joking.
Then you know wrong.
Now answer the question.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

So, an abstract concept based off of wild imaginings? Seems about right.
"God is existence itself" is an equivocal statement, which ultimately lacks any meaning. It's akin to saying god is love, god is sight, or god is the almighty. But I guess keeping "god" intentionally tucked away inside of various concepts, with no direct definition or tangible evidence, is the only way to continue propagating the lie.

Thanks for the argument, does not fly. Try again.

All arguments for God are non-sequiturs.

As I said before, if the argument for your pet god boils down to "[my god] has to exist, otherwise this argument doesn't work", you have a problem.

In my mind you're a fucking moron , so in reality you must be a moron as well, otherwise how could I think you're a moron ?
See the problem there?

Is god a façade, or am I a poet who didn't know it?
